I shot this picture last year in Pacu Jawai Padang Indonesia
Nikon D3s 70/200mm f9.0 1/800 ISO-450

What's the twist?

Nice clean shot of a fairly cruel tradition. I think it would be better from either slightly higher to clear the chap's head from the bull's, or maybe with a bit more room below to make more of the reflection - if there was more.

You should stick it in the Sony World Photo contest, they give at least one award to one of these bull racing shots every year. ;)
 
Fantastic (y)
 
Hi, Excellent shot, hope you managed to get out of the way in time.:)
 
Unbelievable shot! Love the way you have captured the power of the bulls in their stride, mud flying everywhere! Great photo!
 
Amazing shot, I think the slight vignet adds helps to focus the eye on the subject too.
 
Fantastic shot .. It is a shot I have wanted for a while .

The race these in Thailand , which is where I go every year , but I am yet to find them .

That D3s with a 70-200 takes ou very close ... wow , makes even more of a shot .

I have been looking at some of your other work ... very nice .

Looks like you are enjoying your move to KL , as I intend to do when I move to Thailand .
 
That is incredible, the action is caught perfectly :clap: the only thing that would possibly add to it is there the making of a reflection there to see it with a full reflection in the would be the epics of epicness ;)
 
Looks as though Panasonic were there as well, they have a similar picture of that event in one of their adverts for Lumix camera's. It's in the September issue of Digital SLR Photography

Cheers Keith
